"The cover of Tales from the Grave in Space has a backstory to it, whichsort of sprung into my mind one night. It's inspired by thissemi-conspiracy theory about what are called the Lost Cosmonauts, real-lifeexperimental space pilots sent up secretly by the USSR in the 1950s andearly '60s.

"Two brothers in northern Italy had an amateur spacecraft tracking stationand picked up some of the earliest signals from the space race. In 1960,they reportedly heard a faint SOS signal moving away from the Earth intospace. It's been speculated that a man was sent up by the USSR in aconverted R-5A rocket and instead of crash-landing back to earth, he justkept going.

"That's where the (wobbly) facts end, but it really sparked my imagination.If it's true, that means this year he's the first human to cross theboundary of our solar system into interstellar space. He's perfectlyfrozen, all alone, shooting at 18,000 miles per hour into deep space. Itmade me think: doesn't his distance from Earth mean he's the most likelyobject, if any, to be found by another race, or civilisation, or presence,or something?

"So I spun this whole alien-Cosmonaut story from it. The cover of the albumshows this lost cosmonaut, attached by living tentacles to this vast,abstract piece of masonry in space - it's The Grave of the title, designedby Jeff Jordan. It's a sort of 'Doctor Who-meets-Arthur C. Clark' thing, analien object that absorbs whatever it encounters. So it's got ourCosmonaut, it's sustaining him and sort of keeping him alive - but whatwould it learn from him, and what could he tell it?

"Well, for a start, he'd tell it where Earth is, and that Soviet supermenshould rule the world, and maybe they should head back there together andmake it happen. Now that's scary. Luckily when I brought this idea to therest of the lads, they thought it was cool and summed up the buzz of thetitle and songs well, and didn't call me a lunatic!"

PHILLY BYRNE comments on the art:

"The brilliant Jeff Jordan really outdid himself on this, and we're reallyproud to have worked with him. He took inspiration from classic pulp andsci-fi artists like Virgil Finlay, mixed it with the themes you find in1950s horror comics like Tales From The Crypt and came out with somethingtotally authentic and mind-blowing! It was then designed into an albumcover by Rory McGuigan, who gave it this excellent, Hammer Horror movieposter vibe. We couldn't be happier with it or more grateful to those guys.This represents the sound of our music perfectly: when you look at this,you're seeing inside GAMA BOMB's brain."

The song titles which are set to appear on the album - in no particularorder - are:

"We wanted a definite place which people could visit to commemorate,remember and celebrate Mike. Thank you so much from all of Evile and Mike'sfamily for all the support. It really means a lot. We'll be posting newsregarding any benefit shows for Mike on the site, and also thanks toUKthrash.co.uk, people can donate direct to Mike's family, as well as sendtributes, flowers etc. to the family via our management.

"We're hoping to arrange two very special memorial nights for Mike, soplease keep an eye out (not literally out of it's socket). Please leaveyour messages for Mike's family and friends in the condolences section, andsend any Mike pictures you have to the address on the site. Thank you toHayley, Kathy Waters, Chris Wordsworth, Talita Jenman and Julie Weir for allthe help getting this site going."

Over 2 weeks ago, the illustrious website known to many as MetalSucks fired writer Gary Suarez over his controversial and overwhelmingly positive review of OCEANO's debut album, DEPTHS. In it, Suarez deemed the Billboard Heatseekers-charting debut "irreproachable." and gave it the outstanding score of 5/5.

After a show of force by the MetalSucks community as well as several members of OCEANO and their management, Gary Suarez was let back onto the site last Friday as a special guest editor for the day. One of the first pieces he posted upon his return to the site was an in depth interview with OCEANO guitarist, Andrew Mikhail. In it, he talks about OCEANO's relationship with WHITECHAPEL, his opinion on downloading and his response to OCEANO's "deathcore" subgenre tag:

"We're very happy with the results from "Depths" this year. For a debut album it has exceeded our expectations and couldn't be more happier. Not much to say there, but music wise, I'd classify oceano as death metal music with a hardcore mentality. We play death metal influenced music with the passion that you only get from hardcore music and performance. But, for convenience sake we've come to terms with the term "deathcore" when being described on print or such. I'd just consider us metal for even more convenience! (Insert metal elitist comments below, because we SUPPOSEDLY "don't know what REAL metal is" huh)"

"This is a band that should be listened to in the context of their full album. The video song "District Of Misery" has some very cool things going on melodically. Speaking of brutal vocals, who ever this dude is, it sounds like he's gargling fucking Brillo pads while having some sort of bacterial infection after eating some dirty whore's ass for a week. Brutal. If you disagree, check out "A Mandatory Sacrifice" and listen to his vocal at 3:28. God. Damn. Brutal."

Ol Drakealso recently filled in on guitar for DESTRUCTION at Portugal's CaosEmergente festival.

Ol Drake comments:

"Mike was a huge Destruction fan. It'll be a great way to pay tribute tohim by jamming some of his favourite Destruction songs with Schmier, Marcand Mike. Throughout playing with Evile, Mike was always cautiously calmabout exciting things. "Mike, we're touring with Megadeth!" - "Oh, cool"."Mike, we're touring with Exodus!" - "Oh, cool". I just knew he jumpedaround like a child when he got home, but when I called him to say I'mplaying a show with Destruction in Portugal he went "OH MY GOD!!!!!!!WHOAAAA, you bastard! Wow!"

"I got to pass on one of Schmier's picks from him to Mike before the lasttour and it made his day. Thank you to Destruction for wanting to dedicatetheir next set to Mike and for letting me jam some songs in his honour."

DESTRUCTION bassist and vocalist Schmier comments:

"Ol Drake became a very close friend to the band since he helped us outafter the broken finger affair. When I heard that Mike Alexander died I wasspeechless and shocked. I had to sit down. The world never was a fairplace. This again was a situation that shows how fast everything can beover and out. Mike Alexander was such a positive and funny guy, his band onthe way to the top, a fucking shame and a tragedy.

"Evile and Destruction thought it would be a cool thing to dedicate theDestruction gig in Leeds this weekend at the Damnation festival to MikeAlexander. We will jam his fave Destruction tunes with Ol on the secondguitar. We are sure Mike would have loved this - a memorable way for us toremember a lost friend! Rock in peace brother!"

WHITE WIZZARD guitarist, Erik Kluiber was interviewed by MetalSucks' Vince Neilstein while the band was in New York City to play their first-ever show on the east coast. Over the course of the in-depth interview, Erik touches upon his love for Detroit, MI (his hometown), big cities, his old bands and how he risked it all by moving from Detroit to Los Angeles to join WHITE WIZZARD:

"Well, in November, I started to scout Craigslist and the first place I went to [on Craigslist] was Los Angeles. One of the first listings I read was for White Wizzard. I saw the video for High Speed GTO and immediately became a fan. It was in the back of my mind, and I started learning a couple of tunes like High Speed GTO and Octane Gypsy and taught them to my students. I was in the band Overloaded, and things fizzled out. I was like, "You know what? Now is the time if I got the balls to go for it." I figured that they had somebody because it had been about 2 months. Fortunately for me, they hadn't. So I did a YouTube audition, and Jon [Leon, bass] liked it. I flew out and did a live audition. I did it secretively. I had a lot of options, so now was the time to figure it out. It worked out great. I said "give me 48 hours to give you the decision," because you know, it's a big fucking decision. Then I was like "let's do it, let's sell everything I own," and I drove out in a Ford Ranger to be a part of White Wizzard."

Los Angeles traditional metal heroes, WHITE WIZZARD recently finished recording the full-length followup to their HIGH SPEED GTO mini-album. The as of yet untitled album is being produced by RALPH PATLAN (MEGADETH, UFO, MICHAEL SCHENKER).
